If you were totally hooked to the Santa Clarita Diet, then you'll be happy to know that it's be renewed for a second season.

We're guilty of binge watching the series, which starred Drew Barrymore, and it has been confirmed that shooting for the second round will commence this summer.

The show focuses on Shelia (Drew Barrymore), a realtor, who turns into a zombie (of sorts).

Her dramatic change sees her family go through a major adjustment to a life of death and destruction… but in a good way.

Yep, it's a weird one, but a good one.

Santa Clarita Diet stars Drew Barrymore as Sheila Hammond, Timothy Olyphant as Joel Hammond, Liv Hewson as Abby Hammond and Skylar Gisondo as Eric Bemis.

We spent many hours as kids creating (and tearing down) our dream Lego houses.

And even now, if we see our 5-year-old cousin's Lego box, there's something in us that wants to spill them all out on the floor and play with them (just us?).

However, you'd never think of getting a job as a Lego builder… until now.

Yep, the highly sought-after job as a Lego model designer is actually available and it's based in actual Lego Land.

Dreams do come true, huh?

As advertised on LinkedIn, the role involves designing and building world-class models. Animated models are even in the mix too (and our minds are blown).

If you're interested, experience with model design/product design is handy, as well as experience in IT.

You can apply for the job here, and applications close on April 10.

Is this a little sign that travelling around the city may be getting a little bit easier?!

It has been announced that a brand spankin' new DART station is going to be opened near the Kiliney area in South Dublin.

The new stop will be called Woodbrook Shanganagh, which is being built to coincide with the government's plan to build new houses in Dublin City.

However, don't get too excited just yet, because it'll be about four years until the new station will be complete.

Still though, this will be a great addition to people living and commuting in the area!

We always love Brain O'Driscoll and Amy Huberman's banter on social media, but Brian's birthday post to his wife is a particularly funny one.

Amy celebrated her 38th birthday yesterday and her hubby took to Instagram to wish her a great day.

Taking the mick out of her fashion icon status, Brain shared a photo of Amy in a black raincoat and blue plastic poncho.

 

Happy birthday to this style icon!

He wrote: "Happy birthday to this style icon!"

One fan even commented on the photo, noting that "there's a Virgin Mary look about her!"

Ah, we love this couple.

Imagine going about your daily journey to work and then John Legend pops up at the train station!

Well, that's what happened to London commuters this morning.

The dad-of-one cheekily tweeted that he was arriving at London's St Pancras Station, and asked, "Do they still have that piano there?"

After landing at the station, he then proceeded to perform a 10-minute set of some of his greatest tracks, which included All of Me and Ordinary People.

And needless to say, everyone rightly lost their sh*t:

If you're short, shopping for clothes is no walk in the park.

And normal/tall people will never understand the struggles of finding jeans that actually fit you.

SO, if you're vertically challenged, you'll know ALL about these 6 truths when shopping for clothes.

1. You have to be SUPER selective about where you shop

People will think you're being fussy, but some stores just don't cater for small people.

You kissed goodbye to a lot of shops a loooong time ago.

2. River Island jeans were your saviour

They were really the first affordable brand that began doing small sizes on the highstreet.

And my God, did you buy a pair in every colour.

 

3. Forget shopping abroad

Is it just me or do foreign countries just not cater for small people?

Whether you shop in Spain or New York, even the small sizes seem HUGE.

4. You hate to admit it, but you do shop in the kids section sometimes

Whether it's for shoes or a cosy jumper, sometimes kids sizes just fit you more snuggly.

Shout out to a child's size 33-34 in Dunnes.

5. But then, you feel like a child

Between clothes drowning you and being able to fit into your younger sister's clothes, you will no doubt feel like a child every now and again.

And that's a shit-buzz.

6. But f*ck it, you're cute

After years of hating your body for not growing and catching up with the other kids, you realise that it could be worse.

And everyone sees you as 'the cute one', which ain't bad at all.

Do any of us have a clue what we're doing?!

Scarlett Moffatt has admitted that she certainly doesn't, and it's safe to say we're all breathing a sigh of relief.

The former Gogglebox star's career is going from strength to strength after winning I'm A Celeb… and scoring a regular spot on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Take Away.

But even still, Scarlett told Reveal Magazine that she, like many of us, is struggling with her living situation.

“I haven’t bought a place yet. I’m still renting, I’m just trying to work out what I want to do with my life."

The 26-year-old also admitted that she's getting by with the help of her friends, and Ant and Dec.

“The advice they kept giving us is to just be me. That gives me so much confidence in who I am.

“They’ve also been helping with autocue and talk back. I just feel very privileged," she added.

Kylie Jenner basically churns out new products quicker than we can buy them, and this week the teen makeup maven has hinted that a new line is in the works.

Taking to Twitter, Kylie teased fans with a tweet, telling Kardashian-Jenner devotees that she has a very special collaboration collection on the way. 

Obviously people were immediately up in arms, demanding to know more details. 

The predictions have been pouring in on Twitter, as fans struggle to guess who the now hotly-anticipated collab will be with. 

Many of the guesses have been other cosmetics companies like Jeffrey Star Cosmetics and Anastasia Beverly Hills, while others think it will be with an Instagram makeup artist like Manny MUA.

One shrewd Kylie fan thinks it will be a special Mother's Day collab with Caitlyn Jenner, as Mother's Day falls on May 14 in the USA.

However, the majority of guessers think it will be a collab with either Kendall Jenner or Kim Kardashian-West.

These two are the only members of the quintet of sisters who have not already been immortalised in a lip kit.

Khloe has her very own Koko Kollection for the company, and Kourtney has a distinctive plum shade called Kourt K named after her.

Kendall could very well be the next to collaborate with her sister, but with her many modelling campaigns and contracts with other makeup companies, she may not be able to.

This leaves Kim as the number one suspect when it comes to the partnership .

Honestly, Kylie can do no wrong when it comes to her cosmetics company, but we think the frenzy of a Kim and Kylie collab (kollab?) would be absolutely insane.

Snow Patrol are officially making a comeback! 

The band members have been working on solo projects for the past six years, but now they have their mojo back as a collective. 

The Northern Irish quintet are working on a new album, and lead vocalist Gary Lightbody took to Instagram to update fans.

 

A post shared by Snow Patrol (@snowpatrolband) on

"For the folks asking about the new snow patrol album, #SP7. here’s the news. we had a breakthrough recording session in feb and are on the home straight," he said, captioning a shot of the new album's song list.

"The awesome Jacknife Lee is in the producer’s chair as usual and we have more time with him in the studio in May/June and will be finished at the end of June."

"Hopefully that gives us plenty of time to bring the album out this year. That is the plan. Plans are fallible but we'll damn well try our best."

 

A post shared by Snow Patrol (@snowpatrolband) on

"There have been a few false starts so I didn’t want to post something until i knew we were on the right track. We are. It’s sounding mighty.

"I’m very proud of what we’ve done so far and cannot wait for you all to hear it. thank you all for your patience and support."

 

A post shared by Snow Patrol (@snowpatrolband) on

"Six years is a bloody eternity between albums we know so the fact people are still asking when it's coming means a lot to us. We’ll post updates from the studio from late may onwards," finished the post.

We're delighted that the lads are making a comeback, and we can't wait to hear the album this year.

Now, if only they would announce a tour…

As Brexit officially comes into play today, papers all over the globe covered the implications of the UK leaving the European Union.

The Guardian put together a very fetching front page, featuring Europe as a jigsaw puzzle, with the UK missing.

However, the chunk missing also includes a large portion of the Emerald Isle. 

 This has left some Irish folk very baffled, as ROI areas like Donegal and Monaghan were also removed.

Obviously this was just a slight oversight on The Guardian's part, but of course that didn't stop people making jokes about it on Twitter. 

Counties like Offaly and Cork got an awful slagging, as people joked about wanting to give those away in return for the missing ones. 

Old rivalries we're also dug up, in traditional Irish spirit. 

"Cork raging because they were full sure the Dubs would be away."

"Hopes of 'real capital' status dashed," joked one. 

Others got pretty political with their tweets regarding the missing piece of the puzzle. 

"Hey most of the six counties didn't vote to leave but that isn't stopping the Brits," said another.

However, most people took a joking stance to the whole thing.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen is know for, well, their burgers.

The popular restaurant has a number of locations in Dublin, and grabbing lunch or dinner from one of their diners is definitely a delicious treat.

Now, GBK is branching out into breakfasts with their new menu, aptly titled Cereal Killers, which definitely looks like it's going beat a bowl of frosted flakes any morning. 

 

A post shared by Halal Gems (@halalgems) on

The menu will be available seven days a week from now until the end of summer, and is currently available at the newly re-furbished South Anne St restaurant, Temple Bar, Liffey Valley and Swords Pavilion locations.

So, if you have the misfortune to work early shifts, you can now to kick start the day at GBK, which decidedly beats a bowl of porridge.

The menu hosts a variety of delicious breakfast baps, including the tantalisingly described Chorizo Scramble and the very trendy Avocado Toast.

The egg-stras (we see what you did there, GBK) look pretty good as well, and include hash browns, poached eggs and even chips!

Our home made breakfasts are going to look very sad from now on compared to this scrumptious menu.
